Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates the cross-sectional view according to the image capture unit of preferred embodiment of the present invention.Image capture unit 200 comprises a sleeve 210, a lens combination 220, an image acquisition module 230, a foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 and a stacker 250.The accommodation space 210b that sleeve 210 has a light incident opening 210a and is connected to light incident opening 210a.In addition, lens combination 220 is to be configured in the accommodation space 210a, and lens combination 220 comprises one first lens 222 and one second lens 224, wherein first lens 222 and second lens 224 are to be configured in regular turn in the accommodation space 210b, and light incident opening 210a exposes the part surface of first lens 222, and second lens 224 are breasting to the first lens 222.In addition, the present invention does not limit the lens numbers of lens combination 220.
From the above, image acquisition module 230 for example is made up of a circuit board 232 and an image-pickup assembly 234 that is disposed on the circuit board 232, and image-pickup assembly 234 is to be positioned on lens combination 220 light path afterwards.In addition, stacker 250 is coupling sleeve 210 and image acquisition module 230, and foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 is to be positioned at around the image-pickup assembly 234, and stacker 250 coats image-pickup assembly 234 and foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240.In addition, image-pickup assembly 234 for example is Charged Coupled Device sensor (CCD sensor), complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor image sensor, CMOS image sensor) or other image sensor.
Please continue with reference to Fig. 2, image capture unit 200 more comprises a fixed head 270 and a tablet filter 260, wherein fixed head 270 is to be configured in the accommodation space 210b, position in order to the fixed first lens 222 and second lens 224, and fixed head 270 has a light outgoing opening 270a, and it exposes the part surface of second lens 224.In addition, optical filter 260 is to be disposed in the stacker 250, and on the light path between lens combination 220 and the image-pickup assembly 232, and optical filter 260 for example is the optical mirror slip of infrared filter (IR filter) or other kind.In addition, sleeve 210 for example adopts and revolves the lock mode and be connected with stacker 250, and its middle sleeve 210 has an external thread 212, and stacker 250 has an internal thread 252, and sleeve 210 is by internal thread 252 assemblings of external thread 212 with stacker 250.What deserves to be mentioned is that sleeve 210 also can adopt snapping, wringing fit socket or alternate manner and stacker 250 assemblings.Below be described further for the external form and the function of foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240.
Fig. 3 A illustrates the front view of foliated lamellar ligh trap structure.Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A, foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 for example is made up of a plurality of ring-shaped blade 242, and these ring-shaped blades 242 are around image-pickup assembly 232 in the concentric circles mode.In addition, foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 for example is one-body molded with stacker 250, but foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 also can directly be disposed at around the image-pickup assembly 232.In addition, foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 is made of light absorbent (lightabsorption material) or antiradar reflectivity material (low reflectivity material).When light 280 in regular turn via the light outgoing opening 270a and the optical filter 260 of lens combination 220, fixed head 270, when being incident to image-pickup assembly 232, part light 280 becomes image light source 280a, part light 280 then becomes veiling glare 280b, if wherein veiling glare 280b is incident in the image-pickup assembly 232, this part veiling glare 280b then can influence image quality.Be incident in the foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 if it should be noted that veiling glare 280b, then veiling glare 280b in foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 through will decay gradually (decay) after the reflection repeatedly.Moreover foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 is not limited to ring-shaped blade 242, its describe in detail as after.
Please refer to Fig. 3 B, it illustrates the front view of another foliated lamellar ligh trap structure.Foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 340 for example is made up of a plurality of strip blade 342, and these strip blades 342 are around image-pickup assembly 232 with the trellis arrangement mode.It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the quantity of strip blade 342 (as shown in Figure 3A) and ring-shaped blade 242 (as shown in Figure 3A).In addition, strip blade 342 is not limited to adopt the trellis arrangement mode, and strip blade 342 more can adopt radial arrangement mode, honeycomb or other arrangement mode.In addition, ring-shaped blade 242 is not limited to adopt the concentric circles mode to dispose, and ring-shaped blade 242 also can adopt other arrangement mode.Moreover the present invention does not limit foliated lamellar ligh trap structure 240 is centered on image-pickup assembly 232, more can adopt wavy or irregular ligh trap structure.
In sum, image capture unit of the present invention has following advantage:
One, in known image capture unit, when light was incident to stacker with wide-angle, the part incident ray may be reflected by the madial wall of stacker, and then is incident in the Charged Coupled Device sensor, thereby caused image quality to descend.Yet, image capture unit of the present invention centers on foliated lamellar ligh trap structure around the image-pickup assembly, so the light that is incident in the foliated lamellar ligh trap structure can be decayed gradually, be incident in the Charged Coupled Device sensor and no longer include chance, therefore image capture unit of the present invention has preferable image quality.
Two, in image capture unit of the present invention, foliated lamellar ligh trap structure example is as being made up of ring-shaped blade or strip blade, and these ring-shaped blades or strip blade are with concentric circles arrangement mode or trellis arrangement mode, and then improve the effect that reduces veiling glare.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; anyly have the knack of this skill person; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when the change that can do some a little and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking above-mentioned the scope that is defined of applying for a patent.
